The only people who are really affected by the cancellation of the magazines are those who purchased it. Those who _didn't_ are irrelevant to the discussion since the existence, or cancellation of the magazines has no affect on them. Thus a poll asking (or including) NON-readers whether or not the magazines should be allowed to die in print format does not demonstrate the will of the people who will actually be affected by the outcome of the poll.If the magazines had been allowed to continue concurrently with the DI, people who were already NOT readers of the mag would likely subscribe to the DI in the same proportion (of non-mag readers) who will be subscribing now. Thus the ONLY people WotC wants to force to move from mag to DI are the consumers of the magazine!Their decision affects 0% of players who were NOT consumers of the magazines.Their decision affects 100% of the players who ARE consumers of the magazines.(Note: I am not suggestion that 100% of mag consumers are angry, just that it is a fact they are affected by the decision).WotC _should_ have asked two questions, one to the consumers of the mags, and one to the non-consumers.Consumers: Would you prefer to have the content of Dragon and Dungeon availlable online _instead_ of print.Non-consumers: Would you like online content?If the majority of mag non-consumers subscribe to the DI, nothing has changed.if the majority of mag consumers _do not_ subscribe, nothing has changed.The only way this decision actually makes sense is if the majority of magazine consumers would prefer to (and ultimately do) subscribe to the DI. That remains to be seen, but perhaps instead of suggesting that the number of people upset are the minority, you should ask if they are, in fact, the _majority_ of those who consumed the magazine.</blockquote>
